About the Role

We’re looking for a confident, creative, and versatile Senior Content Designer to work on our client’s website experience, shaping rewarding, personalized, and effortless interactions. You will find new opportunities and improve existing journeys, crafting intuitive and engaging solutions for major product initiatives, multi-step journeys, campaign activity, and vehicle launches. You’ll weigh business objectives with user expectations, delivering content that exceeds both, and use language to engage, inform, guide, and persuade. A strong understanding of the value content adds to a customer journey, coupled with experience using customer research, data, analytics, and AI to guide design, is essential. You’ll work mostly independently, with support from a Content Lead.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the end-to-end content design for flagship launches, multi-step customer flows, and complex campaign-driven journeys across digital platforms.
  • Partner early with product managers and UX leads in the concept phase, shaping product intent, defining information hierarchy, and solving UX problems with content before visuals are developed.
  • Design and structure multi-step content architecture, taxonomy, and navigation paths to ensure seamless transitions across complex digital touchpoints.
  • Define and document reusable content components, patterns, and copy standards within our design system to ensure long-term consistency across digital products.
  • Define clear content governance models, review processes, and quality frameworks so high standards and brand consistency are maintained post-launch.
  • Interrogate quantitative performance data (conversion, drop-off, engagement) and qualitative research to formulate hypotheses, test copy variations, and make evidence-based design iterations.
  • Work autonomously with cross-functional partners across Product, Engineering, Brand, Marketing, and Legal to align journey messaging with product requirements.
  • Ensure all multi-step flows and launch content comply with modern accessibility standards (WCAG), plain language requirements, and assistive technology needs.
  • Work hands-on in tools like Figma and FigJam to document user flows, wireframe content layouts, prototype copy in situ, and explore AI-assisted workflows to optimise efficiency.

Requirements

  • Proven track record designing content for complex digital products, multi-step journeys, or major customer-facing campaign launches.
  • Demonstrated capability in content architecture, information hierarchy, and structuring complicated user flows into clear, intuitive journeys.
  • Experience collaborating with product and design partners at the problem-framing stage, shaping the solution before high-fidelity design work starts.
  • Practical experience developing, documenting, or applying content design system components, style guidelines, and governance processes.
  • Comfortable using analytics, conversion metrics, and user research findings to steer content decisions and evaluate performance.
  • Skilled at collaborating autonomously with stakeholders across product, marketing, and brand to align on goals and resolve conflicting priorities.
  • Hands-on experience working directly inside Figma and modern collaborative tools to prototype content alongside UX/UI designers.
  • A thorough working knowledge of digital accessibility, screen-reader compatibility, and inclusive language principles.
  • A degree or equivalent hands-on experience in English, Communications, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), UX Design, or a related field.
  • Proof of user-centred decisions, testing or iteration.
